  • I'm from Glasgow, Scotland, so I'm in the 55,-4 graticule.
  • I've been aiming to reach a point on one of the Scottish islands, most likely Arran, but a suitable point on a suitable day has yet to appear.

I've also started a complete rewrite of all of the achievements, the drafts of which can be found at /Achievement Drafts. Feel free to leave comments on these; they'll be updated periodically.
